I have no idea how Hall would react, so this isn’t a criticism of him.
But if a guy says “I either start or I’m gone,” when it’s better for the team if he comes off the bench, I’m not that sad to see him leave. In football, it’s different, where one guy plays most of the time. But in basketball, when you can still get 25-30 minutes off the bench, I wouldn’t be that sad to see a guy like that leave.
I don’t think Hall would do that though.
